Axios gnome menu bar hosed
Just asking ... have you ever tried Budgie? I run it on my Dell laptop (and five other machines) , and haven't had a problem with it, ever. Occasionally there will be a minor glitch in an application, but that's not Solus' fault. Never a problem, nary a one. However, I was a bit puzzled by Gnome for a few (5) days recently. I've never actually cared for Gnome, but I wanted to experience the Solus version, mainly out of curiosity.
Before you give up on Solus, maybe consider a different desktop? MATE has been flawless for me on a media machine that streams to my TV. And Plasma seems to have its act together pretty well, too, but it's too big and slow for my taste. My only complaint with Budgie is its limit of only 8 workspaces, but I've been able to live with that (I'd prefer 10).
